In this insightful video, Abraham-Hicks explains what you should do. And how you should know if you’ve found the “perfect” match. Their…

Nobody said it was easy to move on after any past relationships, so when my three-year relationship ended, my life fell apart a little. Well, a lot. It was the biggest most painful personal growth experience I had gone through. I now know what a true heartbreak feels like. The kind that makes a sound as it shatters inside your chest. Despite the loneliness, the grief, and the pain, I am grateful for the gifts of the relationship and the…

The other day, I got this small story about LOVE in my inbox from one of my friends. I loved it and thought of sharing with you. Here it goes. — Once a student asked his teacher, “What is love?” The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, you have to one thing. Go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: You can go through them only once and cannot turn…

At some point in our lives, we have probably come across someone or several people that told us that we should change something about ourselves. It could have been a casual suggestion like a new hairstyle, a personal probe about our health and diet, or social concern about how we come across to others. For most people, unsolicited inferences can put us on the defense and imply that we are doing something wrong and need to be corrected. That’s not…

Our emotions drive our lives. Our decisions, big and small, are influenced by our emotions — no matter how much we try to think critically and from a place of logic.

Image Credit: Unsplash We are looking for ways and means to become more successful; the definition of such is really personal and has nothing to do with fame or fortune. Rather, it revolves around our ability towards being happy. Of course, the implication here is that successful people are happy people. And as long as you do not have a contorted view of success, such as I will step on as many people as I have to get rich, then…

Healing your emotional self – if you don’t like your body, you don’t love yourself Parents serve their children as mirrors. Parents (together with the immediate family) are the only real reference a child has, and thus parents’ words and behavior present the core source of information about a child. If parents don’t provide an accurate mirror, namely that a child is a valuable human being that deserves love, respect and encouragement no matter what, that leads to never‑ending emotional…

Just because a relationship ends, it doesn’t mean it’s over. When we take a lover, it’s as though we breathe this person into the very center of our soul, inviting them to take up residence and root down within us. In the bloom of romance, this joining can be one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve ever had. You and your partner may begin thinking one another’s thoughts, sensing one another’s feelings, merging your worldviews, and assimilating each other’s preferences…

Once we’ve fallen in love, it’s difficult for most of us to think as clearly as we might have prior to becoming attached to someone. We overlook the small things, which is good. But we can also ignore the large things—matters that, if closely examined, might mean the end of the relationship. These are called deal breakers. A deal breaker is something about which partners feel passionately the opposite on, such as having children, religion, ethics and morals, extended family…

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”~ Eleanor Roosevelt When I was in my 20’s, I found a TED video called “Why do we do what we do” by Tony Robbins and it made me realize that it was a question that I’ve been asking myself subconsciously all my life. Why was I destroying my life in the ways I was doing…

I can’t tell you how fortunate I feel to have you in my life. I don’t stop thanking God and our parents for this wonderful gift. I remember those times when you had asked me why I love you and I became speechless. It’s because I can never express it in words why and how much I love you. But as you have asked me, let me try my best and tell you the top 10 reasons why I love you…

Research shows that if you had to choose one variable that influences the quality of your life the most, it would be relationships. It’s not money or fame or good looks, it’s relationships. People who are deeply connected to their friends, family, co-workers and even the local community live longer, are healthier, happier, more fulfilled and live a better life in general. The good life. And it’s not the number of friends on social networks or the marital status; it’s…

As the great existential philosopher Cher once postulated, “Do you believe in life after love?” In my own personal experience, after my breakup, the answer was a resounding no. Everything I had ever believed about love had just been demolished. My struggles had been in vain. My disillusionment was just too complete. Not only was it hard to reinvent myself and rebuild my life, but I had also become a complete and total cynic. “Love doesn’t exist” was my life’s…
